**HELP**

Go to court and plead stupidity to the judge. You should have cut it up as soon as you got the one from NC.

 

Did they not trim the edge off? In Texas they cut half an inch off the right side of the license.

 

In my state they punch a hole near one corner.

 

Yeah, they should have cut a corner off.

 

Keeping a license for "ID purposes" is not the same as being in possession of 2 licenses. The latter is illegal in most, if not all states. Many states will leave your DL # active until it expires, even after switching to a new state, hence the comment from the DMV rep.

 

In Wisconsin they punch "Invalid" right in it, then they give you a paper license until your new one comes in the mail.

 

Tell the judge exactly what happened.He may see it was an honest mistake but your speeding ticket he won't excuse that.

 

I went from an AK CDL to a WA CDL, the clerk at the DMV kept my AK CDL, so I never even saw it again.

My wife on the other hand had a regular DL, the same clerk punched a hole in it invalidating it and handed it back to her.
